Zinio may not be the only app that causes this problem. The problem coulkd be in the iPad OS or the SDK tools setting some back-up flags incorrectly.

So I'm curious to see other's experience with long back-ups
I've turned off backups entirely. It may have been Zinio, it may have been my 30GB of data in total. Anyway, I've always stopped it manually. In the beginning I've even waited an entire hour - without result.
Don't miss the backup at all, don't see the need for it.
But Apple definitely should give some options, for example only backing up files <1MB. Or only specific formats. Or......
